@d3jef using a butane torch quickly dries the clay a little, enough to stiffen the bottom so it doesn't collapse when pushing down the top part and forming the inside of the vessel.

I've never seen it done this way before. Pretty cool:)

@Alyzabeth01 i learned it from my friend and adapted it to different forms. FUN !

I wanted to try throwing a double bowl in order to make a hollow sink with an overflow. The trouble is making the pot large enough. Does this technique work to get a bowl about 18" in diameter?

[yakimonomaker]

@ClayThrower aloha ! it is possibile. i've thrown 24 inch wide double walled pieces. it will take practice to throw. i also use a torch to stiffen the bottm part of the clay. you could always run the overflow hidden/rear with a extruded tube of clay. i don't think the double wall is necessary. sounds like a fun project.

Beautiful.

So simple.

The end product is in appearance similar to a simple thrown bowl. Other than beauty & pleasure of making it this way, can you tell me what advantage it brings? Perhaps structural strength, like a hollowed out tree, stronger than a solid tree of the same size?

I'm total beginner & curious about the top wobble you seem so unconcerned about. You resolve this at 3.09 with a needle. But before the cut, you eliminate it by shaping the clay...
